Full Steam announcements and update articles for this title.
We are extremely excited (and slightly scared) to announce, that Little Chef: Cozy Cooking will leave Early Access on August 26th! On that day we will launch the 1.0 version of the game, which means that the game will be what we set out to make from the beginning. With the 1.0 version one final update will come, so there is one extra piece of secret content for all you Early Access players still in store!
We haven't planned too much new content or extra levels once the game is in 1.0. We will of course continue improving the game, by adding more languages, removing bugs if there are any, etc.
But at this point we don't have any extra levels or DLC's planned, and are happy with the three 'acts' that our story and game walk through. We don't want to stretch out this concept too far and are happy to have created a game that can actually be finished in a reasonable time :D
Little Chef: Cozy Cooking will be at Gamescom 2026 in Cologne, Germany. If you want to play the game, meet us in person and snag some exclusive merch, then feel free to come by and meet us in the Indie Booth Arena anywhere from the 26th-30th of August!
We truly can't say thank you enough! All of you who supported us during Early Access and everyone that decided to leave a steam review or send us feedback either through Discord or the in-game feedback form. All of this feedback was (and still is) invaluable and the game wouldn't be as whole and polished without it, so thank you thank you thank you!
Once again, a giant thank you to everyone who already played Little Chef: Cozy Cooking during Early Access! We appreciate all of your support and feedback and hope that we managed to make you smile with our silly little game <3
Much love!
We wish you a lot of fun with all the new recipes, achievements and interactions.
It is still early access, and a lot of audio especially is missing or has some placeholders. If you do find some weird bugs or have general feedback, please keep reporting it through the in-game form by pressing F2 in-game. We read and appreciate all the feedback we receive!
With level 3, we are also getting close to the final version of Little Chef. Because of this, this will be the last big content update as we are moving ever closer to the full 1.0 launch that might just be waiting around the next corner!
(The launch date for version 1.0 is coming very soon).
Thank you for playing our game!
Much love!!

Thank you so much for everyone's support, especially our discord community!
Thank you and have a lovely day or evening,
Your Little Chef Team
We are super excited to announce that Little Chef: Cozy Cooking will finally be available in an Early Access state to everyone on Steam!
We are a fully self-funded indie team. In order to allow us to pay for localization, music, and continue to fund the last steps of development we decided to opt for Early Access. This way, everyone gets to enjoy the game much earlier at a discounted price while we already secure some funding that will allow us to make Little Chef: Cozy Cooking the game that it deserves to be.
We appreciate all of your support, hope you enjoyed our Demo so far and are just as excited (and nervous) as us for the release! Make sure to mark March 16th in your calendar!
And if you need more Little Chef: Cozy Cooking in your life before then, you can join our cozy and friendly community on Discord. Everyone is welcome!
Much love,
julien & erika
